I am 71 years old, living on Social Security, although having been a highly paid legal assistant I make more money than many Social Security recipients. I survive despite major medical conditions with high drug costs (my insurance and prescription costs exceed my rent by about half) because I live in subsidized housing. I wass 19 years old when I first read The Feminine Mystique, 20 when Freedom Summer in Mississippi took place. I am a feminist down to my toenails and a strong supporter of the ideals of Black Lives Matter.
I ought to be a shoe in for Hillary Clinton. But in addition to personally liking Bernie Sanders, and being more impressed by him every time I hear him speak, I am following one shining star in the firmament: this may be the very last chance we have to get big money out of our election process. And the proof of the pudding: I send Bernie $5 and $10 as funds become available. The only other group getting money from me currently is my (heavily diverse) Episcopal Church.
